Elegant, comfortable setting for inventive Malaysian-Chinese dishes, run by a husband and wife team.

We made a trip to Zheng Chelsea a couple of weeks ago 🍜🍛

Food: the food at Zheng Chelsea wasn’t as delicious as we thought it would be (as it clearly pictures very well!) The Beef Rendang was nice and had a kick to it, but the Singapore Noodles were quite average 🙄. The Chilli Salt and Pepper Squid was, actually, surprisingly chilli, which we enjoyed.
Service: it was very quiet in the restaurant but the waiters seemed quite tired 🤷🏽‍♀️

The Roast Duck from Malaysian restaurant @zheng__chelsea .

This was only my 2nd time trying duck - I used to have a rule where I don't eat Disney Characters! So no Duck or Venison/deer. I'm glad I made an exception as this dish was absolutely delicious. The duck was tasty, tender, juicy full of flavour. I totally recommended this! .

If you looking for a halal Malaysian 🇲🇾 with nice decor then this place is a good shout .

All meat is halal, alcohol served. I was invited to review the food, my meal was complimentary and thoughts my own. There's a full review on the blog. Halalfoodguy.co.uk

Zheng

I've dined at Zheng (Chelsea) several times and I'm always delighted. Most recently I went there with my family for my birthday and the food was great. There is a very decent variety of foods available to pick from. They also have select dishes that are available in gluten free options. The staff are super lovely too and I'm always so grateful for how well they look after us when we dine there, especially on special occassions. Thank you!

We visited Zheng as an extended family of 12 people on a Friday evening. A few people in our group had a Halal requirement and we chose Zheng as it offers a Chinese menu that is fully Halal (no pork served). Certainly a USP in this part of town.

It was also positive to see no menu restrictions due to our group size, although we voluntarily called ahead to pre order. We did stick mostly to Chinese but tried out a couple of their Malaysian dishes as well. Between us we ordered the prawn toast, salt & pepper squid, edamame and prawn dumplings to start, followed by the sweet & sour chicken, cereal king prawns, beef rendang, green beans, broccoli, egg fried rice and a few roti canai. The food was generally solid. My favourites included the salt & pepper squid, cereal prawns (huge) and the sweet & sour chicken. I was not a huge fan of the beef rendang but that is generally the case at most places I try it, so perhaps just a personal preference.

The staff were quite friendly. We had requested a quicker paced meal and things moved along at a decent clip. The bill for our group of 6 adults and 6 kids came to £464 of which £40 was spent on drinks. A bit pricey but not excessively so. Overall a solid Chinese meal. In this area Huo would be my top pick for Chinese, while there are a few authentic Malaysian options in the Bayswater area, but Zheng is a good option that combines the two cuisines plus it certainly has appeal for Halal eaters as well. I would return.

I used to be a regular at Zheng, but I won’t be coming back anytime soon. For a place that markets itself as “fine dining,” the experience felt rushed and unwelcoming. Our food arrived almost immediately and the crispy beef was cold — the waiter offered to reheat it instead of replacing it. The food didn’t taste fresh, and I never received the drink I ordered. I’ve had great experiences here in the past, but sadly the quality has gone downhill. It’s now overpriced and far from the standard it once was. The only decent thing we had that day was the salt and pepper prawns. Everything else was poor.

Food was AMAZING our favourite was the Nasi Lemak, I’m on a bit of a mission to find the best version and so far this one wins hands down.

We also had the duck again amazing and a winner with children.

One of our party had not had crispy cereal king prawn in a long time and said this version was delicious, again also a winner with the children in the party.

We also LOVED the desserts on offer and had virtually one of everything. As always my favourite was the mango pudding but it is also worth trying the Sagu Melaka which was tapioca served in the shape of a flower on cane sugar syrup. The Bubur Hitam was also really nice and not overly sweet, it was unusual as I’ve never had black rice porridge before.

Special mention for the service which was super polite and friendly, the manager engaged with the children making them laugh.

Atmosphere was relaxed and we all had an amazing time.

Worth booking in advance as it fills up fast (not surprisingly).

Service was good and very friendly!
However, food was disappointing… in particular the beef rendang which was dry and not tender. The char kuey teow was OK. I would recommend the king prawns if you do end up going though.
